tatra snātvā ca pītvā ca dattvā caiva yathāvidhi / sarvapāpavinirmukto brahmaloke mahīyate
そこで沐浴し、聖水を飲み、定められた作法に従って布施をなすならば、あらゆる罪より完全に解き放たれ、ブラフマーの世界において尊ばれる。

FAQs
It does not define Ātman directly; it teaches purification through tīrtha-bathing, sacred water, and dāna, presenting moral and ritual cleansing as supports for higher attainment (Brahma-loka) in the Purāṇic dharma framework.
The verse emphasizes dhārmic disciplines aligned with yogic niyamas—śauca (purity) through snāna and inner restraint expressed as yathāvidhi conduct—along with dāna as a purifying practice that reduces pāpa and supports spiritual ascent.
Implicitly, it reflects the Kurma Purana’s integrative dharma tone: liberation from pāpa and ascent to higher worlds is achieved through prescribed sacred observances rather than sectarian exclusivity, consistent with Shaiva-Vaishnava synthesis across the text.
